Advanced driving courses
Each year around 290,000 people are injured in car accidents in the UK , and there are many thousands more car accidents that occur where there is only damage to vehicles. To reduce your chances of being involved in a road accident, you could dramatically improve your driving by taking an advanced driving course.
An added benefit of getting an advanced driving qualification is that you will get much cheaper car insurance in years to come because insurers see you as a more skilled driver and so less likely to be involved in a car accident.
What does an advanced driving course entail?
There are lots of different driving courses to choose from, two of the best respected being from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (www.iam.org.uk) and Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (www.roada.org.uk).
Most courses involve going to one or two evening classes for driving theory, reading a handbook, and then taking driving tuition lessons with an instructor until you are ready to take your advanced driving test.
How much do these courses cost?
People often imagine they are several hundred pounds, but in fact it costs much less than that to do an advanced driving course and take the test. You can often save as much money as it costs you because you are receiving much cheaper car insurance.
The courses start from about £60. Some do involve paying a yearly fee for continued membership but this can be as low as £5, and many people find this is well worth it considering the benefits they have gained from taking the course.
